So why did we try to build a better duck? We gained the conviction that there were no rubber ducks on the market safe enough to be put in the mouths of very young children. Our good ducks are considered by many to be the safest rubber ducks in the world, and the only ones a baby should teeth on. All of our manufacturing, design, and 100% of the materials are made in the USA. It is PVC-free, phthalate-free, and BPA-free and uses the highest quality food and medical grade materials third-party tested in the USA.
